Compagnie Marie Chouinard: highlight of the Montréal dance season

Paul Taylor American Modern Dance is getting ready for the transition to the time when it will have to go on without its founder and creative spirit.

Samuel Tétreault co-founder of The 7 Fingers brings the company back to Sadlers Wells with Triptyque - a trio of works exploring the theme of gravity. Drawing on the steely nerves of nine first-class performers, each piece harnesses a hybrid of circus disciplines and contemporary dance technique.

In celebration of her company 25th anniversary, the multi-faced and multi-awarded Marie Chouinard presents two of her most recent works: “Soft Virtuosity, still humid, on the edge” and “HENRI MICHAUX: MOVEMENTS”.

Dans son MAGNIFICAT, la chorégraphe québécoise propose une lecture dansée de Bach chargée de sensualité, avant un Henri Michaux : Mouvements qui contraste et déroute franchement.

Soprano France Bellemare was impressive, both vocally and theatrically, in Poulenc's La Voix humaine.

Ballet Jazz de Montreal seems a logical choice to create a tribute to one of this city’s most celebrated musical icons, Leonard Cohen.
